Canadian defender from Severstal Marc Barberio talked about the game for “Tampa Bay Lightning » with Russian hockey players Nikita Koucherov And Andrei Vasilyevsky .
Kucherov, 30, leads the NHL regular season scoring list, scoring 83 (32+51) points in 48 games.
— In Tampa, you managed to play with Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevsky.
— They are very good hockey players and teammates. Kucherov is a calm man and at the same time an incredible talent. And when he gets to an important match, his game becomes even better. It’s no coincidence that he won two Stanley Cups while being an important part of the team. Kucherov deserves to be recognized as one of the best players in the NHL. And he wants to be not only a good player, but a great player. The same can be said of Vasilevsky. He works very hard, being the first on the ice and the last off, and he also pays a lot of attention to stretching, agility and many other things. Constant work is the secret of their success. Kucherov and Vasilevsky are a big part of Tampa, thanks to which the team has been at the top for so many years.
— Kucherov is considered a private person, is he the same in the locker room?
— When I played in the team, Kucherov was still a young player. Maybe the situation has changed over the years and he has become a leader in the locker room, because he has been playing for Tampa for a long time,” RB Sport quotes Barberio.
Barberio, 33, played 272 games in the NHL and scored 56 points (14 goals, 42 assists). In addition to Tampa, he played in the league for the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche.
